Anyway, sounds like my NAS is going to be an Alpine rootfs compressed as a giant initramfs.

github.com/alpinelinux/... is 90% of the way there. Just needs an init and a kernel.

Kinda surprised no one made this into a thing yet. You can even make it do A/B boot with just, like, GRUB.

interesting. just wondering why this move? are they planning to IPO in India?

i think for fintech it makes sense since RBI has lot of restrictions (good) in place.
